Story here. Excerpt:

'WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats praised Sonia Sotomayor as a judicial pioneer, but Republicans questioned her impartiality and President Barack Obama's views as well Monday at confirmation hearings for the nation's first Hispanic nominee to the Supreme Court.

Even so, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Sotomayor, "Unless you have a complete meltdown, you're going to get confirmed."

"And I don't think you will" have a meltdown, he added quickly.

Graham spoke after Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, praised Sotomayor in remarks that opened confirmation proceedings in a packed Senate hearing room. "She's been a judge for all Americans. She'll be a justice for all Americans," he said.'

"She's been a judge for all Americans. She'll be a justice for all Americans,"

Unless of course you are a white male, but hey who gives a toss about them?

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.”

A hatefully bigoted statement like the one above will never be okay for a Supreme Court Justice to have made. This misandrist woman should never have been nominated to be a Supreme Court Justice.

In the special "identity politics" world of Sotomayor all people are equal under law, it's just that some are more equal than others.

In today's session, she was grilled by Sen. Sessions on prejudiced statements she'd made. She responded with double speak. In true Marxocentric deconstructionist style she clearly exhibited, "There's no such thing as truth."
